When you are planning an extension, alteration, loft conversion or other change to your home, clear and accurate drawings can be an important part of the planning application process. Planning Applications Drawings provide the local planning authority with a visual representation of the existing property and the proposed development.
KR CAD Solutions provides professional architectural and CAD drawing services for domestic building and planning projects. With over 30 years of experience in engineering, building services and construction, we can prepare accurate drawings to clearly communicate your proposed development.
What Are Planning Applications Drawings?
Planning Applications Drawings are architectural drawings prepared to accompany a planning application. They show the existing property and explain what is proposed, allowing the planning authority to assess the development.
Depending on the project, drawings may include existing and proposed floor plans, elevations and site-related information. The drawings need to clearly show the proposed changes and provide sufficient information for the application to be considered.
The drawings required can vary depending on the type and scale of the development. A house extension, loft conversion or alteration to an existing property may therefore require different information from a larger or more complex proposal.
Existing and Proposed Drawings
A key part of many planning applications is showing the difference between the property as it currently exists and what is being proposed.
Existing plans provide an accurate representation of the current building. Proposed plans then show the changes that would result from the development.
This can include changes to room layouts, extensions to the building, alterations to windows and doors, changes to roof arrangements or other external and internal alterations relevant to the application.
Presenting the existing and proposed designs clearly makes it easier for the planning authority to understand the scope of the project.
Planning Drawings for House Extensions
House extensions are one of the common reasons homeowners require Planning Applications Drawings.
Whether you are considering a rear extension, side extension or another alteration to your property, architectural drawings can show the proposed footprint, layout, elevations and relationship with the existing building.
KR CAD Solutions can develop your requirements into accurate CAD drawings, helping to communicate how the proposed extension will look and how it will relate to the existing property.
Where appropriate, 3D CAD modelling and visualisation can also provide an additional way of understanding the proposed design.
Loft Conversions, Alterations and Refurbishments
Planning Applications Drawings may also be required for other types of domestic development.
Loft conversions, garage conversions, changes to the external appearance of a property and more substantial alterations can all involve planning considerations depending on the circumstances.
KR CAD Solutions can prepare architectural drawings for a range of domestic projects, developing the proposed design from initial ideas through to detailed CAD drawings.
Where an existing property needs to be accurately documented before the proposed work can be designed, site survey information can also be incorporated into the drawing process.
Accurate CAD Drawings for Planning Applications
Accuracy is important when preparing drawings for a planning application.
The drawings need to provide a clear and consistent representation of the property and proposed development. Dimensions, layouts, elevations and other relevant details should accurately reflect the design being submitted.
KR CAD Solutions uses professional CAD software to produce clear and precise architectural drawings. Existing information can be developed into CAD drawings, while new proposals can be created and presented in a format suitable for the requirements of the project.
Our experience in architectural design, engineering, building services and construction also provides a strong understanding of how buildings and their components work together.
Supporting Your Planning Application
Preparing the drawings is an important part of putting together a planning application, but the exact requirements depend on the individual project and the relevant local planning authority.
KR CAD Solutions can help you develop the architectural drawings needed to communicate your proposals clearly.
The process can include discussing your requirements, assessing the existing property, developing the proposed design and producing existing and proposed CAD drawings.
Our aim is to provide clear, professional drawings that accurately represent your proposal and give the planning authority the information needed to understand the development.
It is important to remember that producing planning drawings does not guarantee that planning permission will be granted. The decision is made by the relevant planning authority based on the application and applicable planning considerations.
